That said, I suggest you prioritize continuing to educate yourself, by consuming podcasts, books, etc and make networking a top priority. 

Not that time consuming and troublesome compared to residential. 2.

For example I'm seriously considering a book keeper, it's starting to get out of hand and too time consuming, but where do I turn to for that and how much of my financial info do they need?

Is there a point where these management plans become an unprofitable, time-consuming activity that might hold me back from future opportunities? 

We don't "buy" real estate, we "source" it...and deal sourcing, rehabbing, and refinancing is an active, time-consuming endeavor. 

Not knowing anything other than what you've stated, I would suggest to start by investing as much time as you can in education.One way to start would be to subscribe to the BP Youtube Channel, look at the different Playlists, pick one and start consuming as much information as you can. 

Not knowing any better and being desperate to obtain investor clients, I provided comps to the investors and never heard from them again (We know how time-consuming running accurate comps can be). 

If the agent collects the $800 fee that they're requesting (also subject to the 70/30 split), they get $560 for a grand total of $1,735.Not exactly a fantastic deal for the agent, even with the $800 - but that kind of thing must be disclosed up front, and most likely, your state's consumer laws will require it in writing.

Both strategies have merit in my opinion - but I'll explain why "differentiate" has merit (for the right investor)In my past career I helped a handful of consumer brands reframe how they thought about product design and marketing - we helped them change the way they thought about demand from a "product" lens to a "consumer psychology" lens.

I have a lot of killer advice for you, but the most important piece is probably the most basic: become knowledgeable and disciplined about business and consumer/personal credit.You are welcome.
